Thanks BIWI. Checking in at 158.9. I've been really struggling this BC and basically maintaining a 3lb loss over the whole BC, which I'm telling myself is better than gaining (which is what I was doing at this point last year). I've been feeling much more in control the past few days, and my stressful period at work is over, so I'm hoping to maintain now until Christmas and not gain over Christmas. I've got a social event every night this week so I daren't hope for a loss.

Checking in! Thanks for the thread BIWII've not weighed yet as I was terribly late this morning - I usually rely on the DCs waking me up before 7 but they both slept in!

I've had a mixed couple of weeks where I've been weak and unorganised so have had to go with what was on offer at a couple of social events and I'm not proud of myself....I'm going to keep LC as much as possible over the holidays, I'm hoping that as we are hosting I'll have a bit more control over meals

Well I've stuck to it absolutely but put 2lb on. I know why though (hormone treatment) so I'm actually quite pleased it's only 2lb and that will be water retention. Still dithering about putting it on the spreadsheet though. Get a grip Kleptronic!

Nothing off this week but nothing on so I'm 8 down in total. I really want 3 more off to get below the 10st mark but it just aint shifting at the minute. Koko for this last week. On the upside I've no real interest in sweet stuff and have managed loads of parties and the office teabreaks without touching anything sweet. I also am waiting on scanning to see if I have pcos and this seems to be helping with some of the symptoms I'd had, skin is finally cleared up and touch wood painful ovulation has eased. Who knows whether it's linked at all but I'm going with it.

Can't believe I've made it to week 8.2lb off for me this week, having maintained last week. I was secretly hoping for a bit more as I've been quite angelic with food, but I haven't been drinking enough water. Yesterday and today I've upped my water a lot and have been constantly running to the loo. Hoping for another couple of pounds to round off this bootcamp.

Hi everyone, Another pound off this week, happy bunny!Christmas dinner night over without any big damage to the waistline, although you were right about alcohol tolerance levels! Didn't drink any more than usual but was well on my way and a little poorly the next day!!!

Had works lunchtime Christmas party and nibbles today and thanks to your advice from some time ago Wombat about planning in advance I ate my lunch before I went, took a drink in with me and was not tempted at all. Thank you

Hi all! I haven't been checking in as quite frankly this week has gone tits up for me- I have been working nights/ late shifts after nights and surving on whatever is the easiest to prepare. Plus tomorrow I am going to a vegan party so no chance of low carbing there. I feel like a massive failure as it had started going so well. Tonight I'm on a night shift again, I have lc lunch with me and some snacks. Hopefully it will be enough.
